"Pithy, witty, funny and on top of the news. What blogs are to political commentary, the Daily Scribble is to the editorial cartoon. I keep coming back for more."Joshua Micah Marshall,Talking Points Memo.

"Though Charles Pugsley Fincher would do well to find a stage name, his daily scribbles are nothing to scoff at. Plain and simple, on lined yellow scratch paper, yet they speak volumes." Jacob Wheeler, Utne.com.

Critics of Donald Rumsfeld from both parties are emerging. However, the Bush team swears loyalty anew. Dick Cheney has been a work buddy of Rumsfeld for nearly a couple of decades and is likely his guardian angel at the White House.

Meanwhile, Karl Rove must be frustrated that he can't pull the get-rid-of-him quick routine that keeps the festering gossip to a minimum. Since Rove doesn't let George W. Bush admit mistakes, he can't have him fire Rumsfeld right now for fear of it being an admission that Bush has made a big mistake in the conduct of the war in Iraq. That would expand the Bush team's mistakes from the claim of WMD.

The last frame is, of course, a reference to the news that Donald Rumsfeld -- already accused of being a tad insensitive to soldiers -- has used a signing machine to sign condolence letters. He says he'll begin to sign them himself.
